Create Opportunities for Learning With a Mobile Campus

University and college communities are uniquely innovative and fast-moving environments. The wide variety of smartphones, tablets, laptops and other mobile devices used on campus by students and faculty create a significant opportunity for anytime, anywhere, any device learning.

At the same time, schools, colleges and universities are continually challenged to meet shifting compliance requirements, maintain security, and bridge the gap between the expectations of users and the capabilities of the institution.

As the leader in mobile communications security, BlackBerry® is uniquely positioned to enable and encourage the delivery and adoption of eLearning, teaching and administration, with controls to protect information and individual privacy.

GDPR Readiness is Not Optional

Are you GDPR ready? The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU will have a dramatic effect on the way organizations deal with the data of customers, employees and others. Recent studies have shown the education sector is the least prepared for the sweeping changes coming to data protection regulations in 2018. BlackBerry has a team of security and compliance specialists who are specifically responsible to assist you in this area.
